You came to the right spot.

[@clarencewalker3925]

Black producers, Black writers, Black effects artists, Black casting agents, Black cinematographers, etc, etc.

It’s all B.S. work together. Black privilege.

Great speech but Oyelowo was a producer for the Movie “Nina” where Zoe Saldana starred as Nina Simone. We need Black producers with sense.

[@QueenBthatsMe777]

2:04 and yes, I'm going to have to agree. I don't fully understand zoe as ms nina, but...

Black is completely tied to a history and an exclusive identity. It is not a vague, defenseless term like African. Our people fought alone and against the largest local and federal occupying military that has ever existed. Skin color doesn't make you black, and tribal Africans, especially with specific terms for black people, like "akta", which was exposed in SugarHill-Wesley Snipes, cinematic ballad about a complicated narcotics dealer, with the backdrop of love and blues....is a story only we can tell. The replacement theory is replacing the great black line, with those who would have never, and still don't fight.

Good morning. I'm commenting on your most recent video to give a heads up that the formerly unseen pilot for The Boondocks is now in circulation. I thought y'all would be interested in archiving it.

African are African not Black we are not the same!!!!

[@autumnjade815]

Black is a term that all people with majority African descent call themselves. It’s not exclusive to one country.

[@winfordwrice2383]

​@@autumnjade815no it not Americans come through themselves or call themselves black Africans that come to America call themselves Africa I live in the city where I see it everyday and hear it

[@DolphineAchonga-gn6kn]

Black is a racist color that's been hoisted on anybody with dark skin and an African descent.But yes nobody's the same just based on skin tones. Even African countries are not all dark skinned or of the same race or culture.

[@DolphineAchonga-gn6kn]

Black, is used to describe anyone with dark skin and an African descent. But yes, we can't be the same based on skin tones (which is brown). Not even Africans are the same because there's hundreds of different cultures and multiple races in the continent.
